Still think my fugure is a better but it is close enough to be honest.

Think you're being a bit optimistic there RT. About 200 (pushing it) behind the goal. I presume the blue stand is where the away fans go, it was full from the turnstile end to about half way, then thinned out. There was about 30 of us roughly two thirds of the way and no-one beyond us. No way 3/4 full.

Counted 130 meself

so won't argue with that.

Ryder cup and U21's final in Cork today would have affected a bit of the support

**aido1895** · 25/09/2006, 11:12 PM

would estimate the crowd at tolka for shels v derry to have been 2,100

**pineapple stu** · 25/09/2006, 11:27 PM

Updated for that; cheers.

**Eoingull** · 25/09/2006, 11:54 PM

I don't know what the capacity is, but the shed housing the Drogheda supporters was pretty much packed...and there were about 40 people from Bray at the game. Hopefully, you can work it out from there.
Bray v Longford is also hard to judge, as many fans walked out in disgust over the 90 minutes...there were about 100 there at the full-time whistle. I'd go for 600 or so, at it's "peak".

**Conor H** · 26/09/2006, 11:17 AM

Stu is that Athlone v Galway back in July?
If so about 250 there with maybe 60-70 galway fans.

**pineapple stu** · 26/09/2006, 12:32 PM

Just looking - I've no idea what game it is. I've figures for every Athlone game anyway, so it's not the home game against Galway. I've taken it out now.

Edit - think I meant Cobh v Galway

The home terrace certainly wasn't packed mate! I know it can look that way sometimes. Crowd was about 1,400 I'd say.

**monzo** · 01/10/2006, 11:12 AM

300ish at the Harps - Kildare last night

**monutdfc** · 01/10/2006, 11:34 AM

Put us down for 100 MUFC v Kilkenny City. Better than I feared it would be.

**thomas** · 01/10/2006, 12:09 PM

2,100 in athlone last night, 700 rovers.

**1 9 2 8** · 01/10/2006, 2:12 PM

Over 2500 at the Rovers games last night no exact figure yet

**oriel** · 01/10/2006, 6:53 PM

thats a decent crowd for athlone v rovers, good luck to all at athlone with the new stadium, thats a real football town, almost 1,500 ,locals at the game, be great to see them back in the big time.

very good rovers support too, hope the locals were better behaved than oriel - see my post on 'tonights latest' thread elsewhere
